The Miami City Council approved Resolution CC-2025-10 on Aug. 19, a yearly resolution supporting the city’s continued participation in the Oklahoma Main Street program.
A presenter asked the mayor to sign the resolution and noted it is an annual action. Council members discussed who the current state contact is for the program; the presenter identified Tamara Nelson as the state contact and suggested the new contact appeared more supportive of the city’s approach than the previous contact, identified in the discussion as Miss Barrick (transcribed) or Miss Merrick (transcribed). A councilmember noted Nelson will be in Miami next Wednesday for a meeting with city representatives.
A motion to approve the resolution passed with recorded “aye” votes from Parker, Barnes, Jones, Eastaff and others.
The council did not discuss any funding changes or programmatic modifications at the Aug. 19 meeting; the resolution reaffirms participation in the state Main Street program for the coming year.
